MBJ Montego Bay

How deep the MBJ board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from MBJ. This reads the same 25 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 18of the 25 destinations are flown by one airline
• 13destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 20%of the destinations name American Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at MBJ

18 airlines appear on the MBJ board and they do not hold it evenly. American Airlines is on 5 of the 25 destinations, 20 per cent of them, and on 2 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 8.2 of the 31 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is JetBlue Airways on 4 destinations. 10 of the 18 airlines at MBJ appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 20 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 18 of the 25 sectors at MBJ do not.

How much of the MBJ board is daily

Of the 25 destinations, 12 are flown at least once a day and 13 are not, 7 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the MBJ board is flown 6 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: MBJ to Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet (PTP) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 15.4 of the 31 departures a day, 49.8 per cent of the whole board. With 52 per cent of the 25 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of MBJ where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 3 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from MBJ

The desk holds the return direction for 21 of the 25 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into MBJ runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Chicago (ORD) at 1.6 out a day against 1.1 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LHR) files 1 a day back into MBJ against 0.71 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at MBJ

MBJ keeps America/Jamaica time, nine hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 00:00 at MBJ, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

The night at MBJ

2 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from MBJ that lands inside it leaves around 07:55, on a modelled block of 9h 35m. Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from MBJ that lands inside it leaves around 05:38, on a modelled block of 10h 22m. Those two departure times out of MBJ are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where MBJ turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Jamaica country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 1 airport pair page that start or end at MBJ, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Montego Bay to Bogotá (BOG).

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with MBJ already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 25 destinations above.
